he he

its all comming together now. my tranny is now being shipped fedex so i dont need to be home and pretend i own an auto repair place to get it delivered. also, i now knwo it will be here in 5 days, which is amazing. im really now waititng on my manifold and then i can hook everything up. i need to faness the intercooler piping a little and definately get teh battery kit done.

lastly, my stupid gauge pod is crappy as ****, so im ordering a meagn racing one. im reall takign a gamble casue if its as bad as the glowshift one i got, ill be mad. seriously, dont EVER buy from glowshift, it looks liek they molded the pod off of the stock A pillar cover and then just made holes or smething like that)

i held it up in teh car and knew strait away it would never fit in there. i tried sanding a it a little, trimming it, but from the beginning there were pieces that wer too big and too small.

lets see if megan can come to the rescue lol. their stuf floosk good tho, really clealy molded. so i can only hope!

tomorrow my last gauge and exaust wrap are comming from summit, my drivers side axle, as well as the possibility of something else, but its always a gamble. i hope my oil catch can comes soon. i wanna hook that up. i also planned on getting those gauges done, but now i think of it, the oil pressue gauge would be easy to isntall when running the feed lines for the turbo (which is sexy as heck)

im so happy to finally have all teh major stuff sitting here in my room. the turbo is sitting there inthe corner and i just cant wait to get it all bolted in and running.
